Amigurumi Garden Snail 田園毛線蝸牛

Recently I borrowed a pattern book on amigurumi from the library, <Amigurumi Knits>.
For me, this type of amigurumi is different from the previous one I've made, as this was made by using knitting needles, instead of crochet hook, so it's a new thing to me.

The patterns introduced in this book looks so real, even can trick with the real thing, but for a newbie like me, of course will start with something simpler. The first pattern I'm attracted to, was this garden snail.

根據圖樣指示, 貝殼的毛線顏色主要為藍色系列, 而肉身則為橘色. 而我則在我的毛線堆裡, 湊出可以配搭的顏色, 就動工了.

According to the pattern, the color for the shell supposed to be blue series, while the mantle in orange. But for me, I just pull out the colors from my stack of yarns, and start knitting.

I personally think that the steps aren't that hard to follow, but lack of photos, as there are some steps that could be helpful if a photo is provided, so whenever I'm at those steps I've to guess, and luckily my guesses are right, if not I'll have to start over again.

可能是我貪心, 我都喜歡把內餡塞滿滿的, 結果我的蝸牛身體胖鼓鼓的, 害我在想若把它弄道法式田螺應該非常多肉. =P

Maybe I'm a bit greedy, as I like to stuff the amigurumi very full, ended up my snail's mantle quite round and fat, make me think that if it was to cook as a French dish escargot, it sure will be quite filling. =P
